14 stallions, including a gaggle of SOJ guests, formed up before the crack of dawn in the latest edition of First Watch. Temperatures remained 70 and conditions sunny. According to the teenagers shaking off their slumber party, the following might have happened:
COP
Circle the campus, stopping per local custom for a burpee at each speed bump, to arrive in front of the main chapel. Senor Frog wins his first “find the puddle” competition.
Dead Man Hang for the six.
Brief intro. Welcome. Recap of our purpose. Like the rest of life, F3 is a “you vs. you” workout. The object is to push yourself, not hurt yourself, and push your individual boundaries in the process.
Hillbillies
Imperial Walkers
SSHs, 4-count, x100
Shake off the SSHs with a run to the light post across the street. YHC believes Senor Frog won his second “find the puddle” competition.
Return to the front of the Church. Overhead stretch. Bring it down to the ankles. Down to Fudd’s Wife. Down to Wilson’s wife. Plank, and then into pigeon right, then pigeon left. Hand release merkins.
Flip it over to reverse crunches, then flutter kicks, snow angels, inverted scorpion kicks, and what have you.
Triple Check
Dips or incline merkins (you vs. you), monkey humpers, run to the aforementioned light pole and back.
Assorted abdominal exercises for the six.
Mosey to the parking lot.
Four Corners, Team Style. SOJ visitors lead a group of 3-5 guys. 10 merkins, 20 squats, 30 WWIIs, 40 SSHs. Small groups stay together.
21s
Group does 21 SSHs, 4-count. First 6 rounds are in cadence. Remaining 15 rounds are OYO. The catch is that if the group does not finish in unison, PAX does 5 burpees.
Mosey to the Overflow Parking Lot
Start at the first parking space. 5 HRMs, 5 squats, 5 v-ups. Run to the road and back, returning to the second parking space. Repeat the exercises. To keep the pace at each man’s tolerance (you vs. you workout), the PAX split between fast guys and ties (you vs. you selecting which applies). SOJ made a strong showing. Well done.
Finish strong…AYG on the last half lap, then wrap with a last round of exercises.
Names, numbers, Lockjaw took the cold call in stride and took us out with a message about patience.
